I’ve been furious at Elon’s actions with DOGE and the impact it's had on Tesla and EVs. But I think that maybe he wasn’t just reckless — maybe he was played. Fossil fuel billionaires needed Tesla weakened — and he walked straight into their trap. #EVs#ClimateCrisis#ElonMusk See 2/2 for link

Thanks for the reply, Jim. While I agree that over-reliance on tools like GPS and predictive text can shift cognitive tasks, framing this as simply 'making us dumber' misses a bigger issue. The real question isn’t whether we use these tools, but 'how' we use them. See image for rest...

With respect, I wouldn't give these 'findings' much weight; it's a single study comparing younger people's abilities with older people's using survey results, and not cognitive testing, and hasn't factored in life experience let alone work experience. See inserted image for my full response-

Seems the UK is not the only foreign country this is happening in. The question becomes - what can any of us mere mortals do about it? I'm dismally feeling powerless about it at this point, but I'm open to ideas. I also fear we are only at the start of this next crazy episode.

I like "Grittelica"; but as an Aussie, it took me a while to clue into what you were all talking about -gritters. I thought it was a slang term for some kind of critter. Now- to share something we have that might be novel to you - our daily fire rating system (Note the lowest risk level -moderate 😬)
